"Firstly, the diversity of the courses offered in each programme. When compared to other universities, I noticed that the course outline covered both academics and vocational skills which would be useful for my professional development especially in my country. Not only was the programme certified by CIBSE professional society but it also had an impressive School which is well known for its research in the energy field.
Secondly, based on my findings, LSBU graduates had a high reputation of gaining jobs within high end companies. The courses are designed to create a balance between theoretical and practical skills which are applicable in today's rigid work environment."
